Harbaugh expressed sadness at the cold reality of so many jobs lost, and families affected.

"Yes, a lot of great people," Harbaugh said. "The toughest thing is on the families. I think as coaches we all understand the nature of the business. Players, too, understand the nature of it. That's part of the challenge, but it's hard on families.

"It's hard on kids that got to change schools, pick up and move and start in other cities and things like that. That's what you feel for the most and that's kind of where your prayers go out towards."
